Intel based Mac Mini OS 10.7.4 won't print with Epson Z705

I recently got a new (used) mini and now can't seem to print. The printer shows up when the printer window opens, but the printer just doesn't respond. I checked the wiring. It is connected by USB. I also looked for a new printer driver for this model, but can't find one that works with this OS. Is there any way around this?

Hi Henry, could that be a Lexmark Z705?
If so I think I'd try this 10.6 download & another Z series driver like Z735 or such...

  • Can i install an entire Xp in my intel based mac mini?

    can i install an entire Xp in my intel based mac mini?
    no boot camp.
    how to do that if impossible?

    Hi Matthew!
    Boot Camp will be the closest you'll come to your goal. A Mac is afterall intended to run Mac OS software first and foremost and Windows is only a secondary OS. But it is possible to boot into Windows after using Boot Camp to get it installed and then delete the Mac partition. You can always reinstall the Mac OS later.
    Or you can still use Boot Camp to get Windows installed and just never boot back into Mac OS X (leaving it on its own partition). But why have Apple hardware just to do that? You'd be better off selling your Mac Mini and purchasing an Intel machine that will run Windows natively.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • Intel Based Mac Mini???????

    I am not trying 2 stir up any controversy here. I am a novice when it comes to "chipsets" but can someone tell me just what is so special about an "intel based mac mini". What would be the benefits if this were 2b true? Just what is a "Yonah chipset" ?
    I know some1 out there has either heard or even speculated about such a possible concept of an intell based mac mini. Please share your comments on this subject please.

    If such a thing exists it will be anounced next week at the convention. The advantage is that it likly will be faster then the current Mini. Changing out the processor basically means a total redesign of the entire insides of the box. Who knows they may even redesign the box too? Wait four days and we all will know more.
    Generally when you re-sign something you make it better (we hope) so the new ones (if they exist) migh be better. Next question is the price. Will they cost more or less or the same??? One more question. Will the Intel baed Mini replace the current mini r will they sell both lines?

  • No CPU temperature sensor on Intel based Mac mini?

    Does new Intel based Mac mini has no CPU temperature sensor like the first, PPC based, Mac mini?
    If I'm wrong what universal utility should I use to monitor the CPU temperature of my brand new Intel CoreDuo Mac mini?

    Every time a new model Mac comes out, the temperature monitoring utilities have to be updated. Obviously, the insides of the Intel Mac mini is different from the PowerPC Mac mini. The folks who write those kinds of tools can't see into the future and write a utility that will work on computers that haven't been released yet. Just give them a little while to catch up!

  • Mac OS X Server on the new Intel based Mac Minis?

    I've successfully been running Mac OS X Sever on my G4 based Mac Mini. Does anyone know if it can be run on an Intel Mac Mini? - The install appears to work, but Server Admin doesn't see the Mac, and Software update doesn't seem to find any updates.
    Anyone done this successfully / know if it can be run?
    Thanks.
    Mac Mini Intel    

    Thanks everyone. I called Apple and they actually said it was supported (I spoke to the guy in the Mac OS X Server support area). He said to do what is described in this thread, and then install the incremental updates to Sever admin.
    I did all this, but it doesn't work - so I think at this point, we have to assume it's not yet supported.
    I suppose you could still install Mac OS X Server on the mini, and then use Server Admin on a different machine to manage it...?

  • SIMS 2 not working on Intel-based Mac Mini

    SIMS 2 will not work on new Mac Mini. I contacted Aspyr who said that the integrated graphics card prevents it from displaying graphics and that this was a hardware problem.
    Is there any way to make SIMS 2 work on the Mac mini
    -update or add on graphics card
    -use in PC mode
    - or ?
    Mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Hi Hillview,
    If you bought 'The Sims 2' for Mac then it will only run on either a PowerPC Mac or an Intel Mac running OS X, not under Windows with BootCamp unfortunately. This means that you can't attempt to run it in "PC" mode. The Apple Store states that the minimum 'Graphics' requirements to run The Sims 2 are either an ATI 9200 and higher, or a GeForce FX5200 and higher. Unfortunately they don't quite take into account that they are shipping macs with Intels integrated graphics chipset now, and no Intel specific requirements are mentioned in the system requirements. It does however state that a minimum of 32MB Graphics Power is required to run the game, and the GMA950 that is in your mac mini has upto 64MB shared, meaning that technically it should run fine.
    It must simply be a problem in the way that the Intel graphics chip processes visuals that are specific to the game its self and unfortunately you can't upgrade the Graphics chip inside your mac mini - it's soldered in! A call to the Apple Care Help Line may be your best bet, because the chances of you being able to get it running, aren't really looking all too good unfortunately =(
    Hope that I may have been of help

  • PRAM Reset on an Intel-based Mac Mini (oops)

    Well, I just had some ram installed on my mac mini, and I know for a fact the fan control wire (aka thermostat) is plugged in right, but when I simply plug in the computer (don't even turn it on) the fan immediately starts whirring up. I had a PPC mac mini that I initially tried to power it up on (it was closer than my intel power supply) that I found out has a different wattage with the power adapter. So, my brother suggested to hold the power button while plugging it in to reset the PRAM. I later found out about this no no and tried an SMC reset (the computer has been unplugged for a while) and that hasn't seemed to work either. This was working great until the ram upgrade.....any suggestions on undoing the PRAM reset?
    Austin

    You can't undo the PRAM reset, but clearly the incorrect use of PMU reset on your Intel mini was not the root cause of the problem you describe, since the fan was spinning up before you did it.
    I think I would suggest you revert to the original RAM and see if that gives you at least some better result in terms of usability of the system, and rule out the new RAM as the cause of the problem.
    If your system continues the same behavior after putting the old RAM back in, you might try the correct procedure for a PRAM reset as follows:
    -Shut down the computer.
    -Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in the next step but one.
    -Turn on the computer.
    -Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    -Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    -Release the keys.

  • Graphite base station not working with my Intel Based Mac Mini and iPhone.

    My Airport Express died after 2 years of use. I had to resort to plugging in my old but still functioning Graphite Airport base station. Since the set up assisant on my Mac mini does not work with the older base station, I used my G4 400 tower to set it up. I got it working and tested the connection. On to testing my iPhone. It sees the new network. Password is entered and the wifi icon shows full signal strength, but does not connect to the web. Next I try my Mac mini out on the new network and it too sees the network, but does not connect to the web. I double check the older G4 and the connection is still strong and fast. I shut the G4 down thinking that maybe the Graphite can only support one computer at a time, and the Mac mini and iPhone still can't connect to the web. I'm not sure what to do with this one. Is there a setting that I need to use? As far as security goes, the Graphite base station was set up with a WEP password. Any help would be great
    Message was edited by: Soriano

    I suggest using AirPort Admin Utility (version 4.2) to check the base station settings and change them, if necessary. (AirPort Admin Utility should be able to configure a Graphite base station from a computer running Mac OS X 10.4, even though AirPort Setup Assistant can't.)
    In the Network pane of AirPort Admin Utility, please make sure that "Distribute IP addresses" and "Share a single IP address (using DHCP and NAT)" are checked, and that everything else is unchecked. I am assuming that the Graphite is the only router in your local network and that there are no computers connected via Ethernet.
    The Access Control pane of AirPort Admin Utility should list either all of the relevant AirPort ID's or nothing. You can find the AirPort ID of an OS X computer by looking at System Preferences>Network>Show:AirPort>AirPort.
    The Internet pane of AirPort Admin Utility should be set in accordance with your Internet provider's requirements. Most likely, it should be set to Connect Using:Ethernet and Configure:Using DHCP.
    After verifying the settings, power down the computers, base station and cable or DSL modem for a few minutes, then start them up sequentially, leaving time for each to get fully up and running: first the modem, then the base station, and finally the computers.
    The network preferences on the Mac Mini and the iPhone are also relevant. I assume that the preferences are unchanged from those that worked with the AirPort Express.
    I hope this helps.

  • Intel Based Mac Mini - Power Issues and Resetting SMS

    Hello all.
    My company has 15 Mac Minis driving LCD displays. The MACs are running MS Vista Basic and operate 24 hours a day except when they reboot (in the early monring). We have a sporadic issue in that we find the Mac powered off even though we have a power backup and the display is still on. Moreover, in order to turn the Mac back on, we need to unplug the power cord from the back of the Mac and then it will turn back on. I recently uncovered that this actually resets the SMS:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446
    My question is do these shave a firmware update for the SMS (the systems were puchased in late 2006; don't know how to get the SMS version number from Vista). If so, is there a way to update the SMS firmware with only Vista installed (Apple firmwares usuaslly use the Mac OS Updater)? Finally, what casues the SMS to malfunctino and need to be reset? Could it be the power backups not regulating the voltage to the Mac?
    Thanks fo your help,
    Kevin

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Just to be clear, you're concerned about the "SMC" (System Management Controller), not "SMS", right? The subject of your topic may confuse some folks.
    There was an SMC update for the "early 2006" model Mac minis (see here), but it sounds like you have the later 2006 models. What is the processor speed of the Mac minis? If they could use the update, you'll need to start them up into Mac OS X to install it. This could be done with a FireWire or USB 2.0 hard drive and would not affect the software currently installed on them.

  • Installing Leopard 10.5.x on an older Intel Core Duo based Mac Mini

    I have an opportunity to purchase a new in box Intel Core Duo based Mac Mini (last years model), seller is throwing in a sealed copy of Leopard 10.5.x and says I can install it, but I'm wondering if someone can tell me how well Leopard will run on a Core Duo. Would it be better to stick with the pre-installed Tiger on this hardware?
    Are there any pitfills to running Tiger vs Leopard?
    The system would be for my wife who is most interested in iLife 08 apps. Can the Core Duo based Mini handle iDVD and iMove well?

    Hi
    I am using an imac 20" with an intel core duo processor. I was also told leopard would run fine on that. For me it does not. I installed in April and immediately had frequent crashes and freeze ups. I have been using macs since 1987 and never experienced so many problems. I did everything I could think of to solve the problem - clean erase and install, upgraded to full Ram capacity, upgraded to Iwork 08 and Ilife 08, turned off all wireless. Tons of time and extra expense. NOTHING made a speck of a difference. I finally called Apple support. They went through various software and hardware tests, including a new archive and install. It actually crashed twice while I was on the phone. My rep enlisted the help of a senior person, who told me it was most likely a hardware issue, even though all hardware tests he ran with me while on the phone were fine. He said it was not a leopard issue, and I should probably take it to a service place - at my own expense of $350 to look at the hardware (as I no longer have a warranty). I said first I was going to downgrade to Tiger, because I really did feel that Leopard was the problem - after all, these only problems started as soon as I installed leopard (he said that was just a coincidence). I said if the problems continued while running tiger - then I would go to a service location.
    GUESS WHAT? I have reinstalled Tiger, upgraded to 10.4.11 and it works beautifully. SO I am convinced that the problem is the intel core duo processor - everthing else was ruled out, with the help of apple themselves. Ilife 08 and Iwork 08 run better than ever (I have 2GB ram installed)
    My suggestion to you would be stick to tiger, at least for a while. There is nothing on leopard that you really need - it is much prettier and has more bells and whistles and takes more memory, but in my mac experience, tiger is the most stable OS ever - I am delighted to have returned to it.
    If you do decide to upgrade to leopard - go for it, but don't struggle for as long as I did. If you notice problems, just go back to tiger. After reflecting on the experience, I believe Apple knows of the issue and is simply not going to invest in debugging an older processor model - I definitely got the feeling that the support people would rather I believe my Mac was about to die, and get me thinking about purchasing a new one, which would solve the problem completely.
    Sorry for the long post - I am new to forums
    By the way, my imac also runs idvd well.

  • Is there a way to view Windows Media Files on the Intel based Mac's?

    I tried downloding WMP for Mac and also Flip4Mac but I could not install either because it said the programs don't support Intel based Mac's. I thought they would automatically run under Rosetta. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Think I ran into the same issue. I suspect MS will
    have to upgrade MP to Universal Binary before it
    works correctly. I'm not holding my breath....
    That's good because Microsoft has discontinued all support for WMP on OS X. They recommend you download Flip4Mac instead.

  • Is there any way to make a Classic program run on a Intel Core Mac Mini?

    My mom just got a new Mac Mini with the intel core processor and she wants to be able to run a rabit pedigree program from her ancient little mac that ran OS 7. Now it says that you can't run classic programs on the intel core processors, but is there any way to get around this? Say converting the application some how, or maybe even installing OS 9 some how as an alternate operating system or any such thing? Or should my mom just start looking for a different pedigree program and start reentering all of her information now?

    Try this, UneasySilence.com has a guide on how to use SheepShaver to run Mac OS 9 on an Intel Mac.
    http://www.gibix.net/dokuwiki/en:projects:sheepshaver
    "Who said you can't use MacOS 9 because you have an Intel Mac? It is completely possible with a little bit of tinkering, and a really cool universal application called Sheep Shaver, which came to us via a tip from Kazaki. Sheep Shaver is a full speed 'Classic' emulator for Windows, Linux, and Intel based Macs, that runs older MacOS's at shockingly full speed!"

  • Do you think the intel based macs will start with the iMac?

    do you think the intel based macs will start with the iMac? or the mini? or a tower?
    when are they suppoed to be ready theoretically anyways?
    just curious...
    chaz

    Hi iSMH;
    According to what Steve said in his keynote address on the Migration to Intel, so I think this is not speculation, they will start with the Mac Mini and iBook with the release being sometime during the summer of 2006. The rest of the line will foloow later with the Powermac being released sometime during the second half of 2007

  • Error "You can't open... ...on an Intel-based Mac."

    Hi.
    On the System Preferences app. When I try to open Mail, Contacts & Calendars (preference pane), it gives me the following error:
    "Preferences Error
    You can’t open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
    I already re-installed OSX Mountain Lion, and it didn't fix anything.
    I noticed however, that the actual preferences file: InternetAccounts.prefPane has different permissions than the rest of the .prefPane files.
    - All other .prefPane files have "System" as the first user, however, my InternetAccounts.prefPane file has "Me" (myself) as the main user, and not the System user.
    Question:
    A. Does someone have a solution for the problem in general?
    B. Can someone check their InternetAccounts.prefPane file and let me know the preferences. The file is located at: System/Library/PreferencePanes/InternetAccounts.prefPane
    C. If, your InternetAccounts.prefPane file has System as the first, or any user, can someone let me know how to set System as a user? Hopefull this will fix the problem.
    Thanks to anyone trying.
